I listen to this podcast to know I’m not alone

“It may sound dramatic to say this, but I don’t care.
I started listening to the podcast about seven years ago when I stumbled upon Kevin and Marc’s commentary tracks for the Burton/Schumacher Batman movies (totally worth your time, they’re available with a membership to ThatKevinSmithClub.com). I loved how they joked and made pointed comments that I’ve thought about those movies.
I kept listening over the years. It was great when they talked to high profile guests, like Marcus and McFeely (the writers of Infinity War and Endgame), but I mostly just enjoyed their friendship and how they talked about the things I wished I could talk about with old friends. Like, the conversations you had with friends in college when you both learned you loved obscure movies or comics. And their both hilarious to boot.
When the pandemic hit, and half the country was sent home to quarantine, and the news kept getting worse, I experienced my first panic attack. My anxiety around finances was so severe, I considered harming myself some days. Some nights, I thought, “Maybe it would be better if I didn’t wake up tomorrow.”
But I tell you what — when morning came, and I’d lie in bed, I’d think, “Why get up? Why bother?” And most mornings, here’s the answer I came to: “At the very least, why not start by brewing some coffee, scrambling some eggs, and listening to Fatman Beyond while you cook?”
And that got me out of bed.
There’s this quote from CS Lewis in the biopic movie “Shadowlands” where he says, “We read to know we’re not alone.” As in, the authors speak to us about things we’ve never communicated but always wanted to say, thoughts and feelings we’ve been too sheepish to share. That’s kind of the same reason I love this show.
So thank you Marc and Kevin for helping me get out of bed during a really rough year, and letting me know that none of us are alone.
Excelsior.”

“Kevin Smith knocks the ball out of the park with this podcast. After only two episodes, I'm already dying to hear the next. As a Batman fan, there's just no better place for some awesome discussion about Batman and the talent behind so many years of entertainment.”Read full review »
